Hello Vibers
It's your girl @darahclem
I'm pleased to drop my entry for week 16.
I want to use this opportunity to thank @lordbutterfly for this opportunity to vibe in this community.
Special thanks to @verbal-d one of our esteemed judges for this competition, for the mention in last week's Honourable mentions.
This week, our theme is 'Root" and I understand it as ones place of origin , ancestral heritage or foundational background.
I'd thought of a lot of songs and I decided to finally sing "Spirit" from the Lion King by Beyonce.
The starting part of the song begins with a Swahili chant which means "Long live the King". It reminds me of the beauty , strength and resilience of people from African roots .
Here's a link to my video on YouTube
These are the lyrics:
Uishi kwa muda mrefu mfalme
(Uishi kwa, uishi kwa)
Uishi kwa muda mrefu mfalme
Yeah, yeah, and the wind is talkin'
Yeah, yeah, for the very first time
With a melody that pulls you towards it
Paintin' pictures of paradise
Sayin', rise up
To the light in the sky, yeah
Watch the light lift your heart up
Burn your flame through the night
Whoa, spirit
Watch the heavens open (open)
Yeah
Spirit
Can you hear it callin'? (Callin')
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, and the water's crashin'
Trying to keep your head up high
While you're tremblin', that's when the magic happens
And the stars gather by, by your side
Sayin' rise up
To the light in the sky, yeah
Let the light lift your heart up
Burn your flame through the night
Yeah, spirit
Watch the heavens open (open)
Yeah
Spirit
Can you hear it callin'? (Callin')
Yeah
Your destiny is comin' close
Stand up and fight
So go into that far off land
And be one with the Great I Am, I Am
A boy becomes a man
Whoa, spirit
Watch the heavens open (open)
Yeah
Spirit
Can you hear it callin'? (Callin')
Yeah
Spirit, yeah
Watch the heavens open, open
Yeah
Spirit, spirit
Can you hear it callin'? (Callin')
Yeah
Your destiny is comin' close
Stand up and fight
So go into a far off land
And be one with the Great I Am
